This is a good question...I've waited for 4 weeks now, but the firm did send a snail mail and said that they haven't made a final decision. I think that means "you're our sloppy second - will call if the all star doesn't accept." lol

I got this type of snail mail letter too about 2 weeks after my cb. so lame.

Firms also ding the worst candidates quickly (happened at one firm postmarked 3 days later), if you haven't heard anything you are at least somewhere down the list to where they ultimately would be happy to have you if others don't come through.

My friend just got an Orrick CB. Interviewed second week in August. Turned them down since he had accepted an offer awhile back. Personally, only firm I haven't heard from yet is Quinn. I think maybe I never will.

C'mon, seriously? An anonymous bump of a thread 45 minutes after the last post?

My bad. Waiting on some people at the airport, bored

So you are posting anonymously because you don't want prospective employers who may be scouring the internet to know that you think waiting around at airports is boring? Please explain, I'd love to know why your posts require such secrecy.

Do you mean his call-back was in August and just got an offer, or his screening was in August and just got a CB?

Long wait means -- FUCK, We're not sure where this economy is heading.

I've heard a lot of long wait stories. Some are getting offers finally, but I think it's too early to tell whether those offers are of any significance. Personally, I think a lot of summer offers are going to turn into no-offered/postponements.
